It became known how much the flight to the moon will cost Russia
Recently we Reportedwhen Russia will build a base on the moon, what problems are facing the Russian cosmonautics and the space and rocket industry. And so it became known that only a program to create a superheavy rocket and an unmanned aerial single-moon flight was tentatively estimated at 1,5 trillion. rub.
They promised to give a more accurate figure to Roskosmos by mid-January 2019, since calculations are still being made. For clarity, the Moscow-Kazan high-speed railway is estimated at 1,7 trillion. rub.
Sources of «РИА Новости» in the rocket and space industry clarify that we are talking about developing a rocket, creating a prototype and conducting one unmanned launch into the moon. But the creation of the spacecraft will be financed under a different program. So do not confuse the launch vehicle and the ship (automatic or manned), which must be put into a specific orbit. In turn, conducting a manned overflight of the Moon also requires additional money. And about the problems with the reusable ship "Federation" we Reported earlier.
So, the appearance of the launch vehicle (LV) will be determined at a meeting of the Roscosmos Scientific and Technical Council on December 18, 2018. In this case, according to the rules for compiling the Federal Target Programs, the main and two additional options will be selected. Priorities are considered to be: the project of the super-heavy launch vehicle developed by the Progress RCC with six side blocks based on the Soyuz-5 rocket, the RSC Energia project with five side blocks based on the Soyuz-5 rocket and the project to restore the production of the Soviet Energia rocket.
In November 2019, the preliminary design of the superheavy launch vehicle should be completed. The first launch of the launch vehicle is expected to be carried out in 2028, while the launch vehicle itself should be manufactured in 2027. By that time, the Federation will be in time.
